These microbes are often familiar bacteria, fungi, and other microbes organized into communities known as biofilms. The biotechnology sector is just beginning to tackle the problem of biofilms by ...

Pus, strep throat, and even tuberculosis—most infectious diseases are characterized by a cluster of pathogenic bacteria that ...

Inc., a preclinical stage biotechnology company developing targeted, immune-enabling biologic therapies to counter persistent infections associated with biofilms. More information: Aishwarya ...

Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they ...

A researcher presented biotechnology at the Medtech Showcase in San Francisco Jan. 12 that can be used to destroy biofilms and potentially treat bacterial infections. The researcher is Steven ...

coli, a workhorse in biotechnology. This has resulted in a small library of synthetic polymers that increase biofilm formation when used as simple additives to microbial culture. To the best of ...

Biofilms affect how microplastics settle. MIT researchers uncover how these layers shape pollution hotspots in rivers and ...

“One of the challenges in exploiting beneficial biofilms for biotechnology or health is that some of the candidate microorganisms, such as probiotics or non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia ...

In up to 80% of chronic infections, bacteria form biofilms—a slimy substance secreted by the bacteria which forms a protective matrix around them. Biofilms are a major contributor to ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...
